The new Pulse can be downloaded here.

End of the Year

Hello KASY,

I can't believe that the school year is over and that my Yale Career is already halfway done. I must be missing my job as media chair because why else would I be up on a thursday night at 2 AM writing a blog for the KASY Website... Anyways 2008-2009 has been an excellent year. My family was great and I really had a great getting to know my "children" better. Will and Tiffany you guys rock! and so does my wife haha. I will sincerely miss updating the website and having the power to do anything such as posting pictures of myself.

Haha Anyways, the end of the year was great. The senior banquet was held at Bangkok Gardens and the senior turnout was excellent. Although no one cried, except me, everyone did laugh and enjoy reminiscing about the impact that the 2009 Senior Class has had. Good job by the way to the New Board on a successful first event!

The KASY Cultural Show was awesome as well! I would like to give props to our cultural chair, Grace Kim, for doing a great job with it and to everyone else who put so much hard work into making it a success (tae kwon do people, actors, dance groups...) The after-show dinner was also so much and I'm glad that I got to meet some new people that night as well as spend time with those I do know. Expect photos from me to be uploaded sometime this year, but this is probably the last post I will write. It has been a pleasure!

-Matt Lee-

P.S. Good luck David. the KASY Website is now yours!

KASY Board 2008-2009

Spring Break!!!

Hey KASY members!

Be sure to check out the new pics I loaded from our recent events.   The Korean Food night had tasty food and drew a pretty big crowd, although we ran out of food kinda fast... I've also got to give props to the freshen! Although I personally thought the skit lacked a central story line, I can't deny I laughed my butt off.  Great board impressions guys!

However, my favorite event so far this year was the Master's tea with Senator Paull Shin.  Senator Shin had such an inspirational story and he almost brought me to tears multiple times haha.  Anyways, I hope everyone else got as much out of it as I did.  I want to personally thank our political chair, Megan Lee, for organizing the event.  great job!

Finally,  We still have Spring Adopted Friends coming up... If you have any ideas for improvements, contact our Community chair: Laurie Kim.  We also have the Cultural show left as well as who knows what!?  Have a great break and get ready to come back and study hard! 

Dukgook!

Hey!

So as you all know it's Korean culture to have Dukgook at the beginning of the year.  Hanpurri, Yale's Korean International Student Society, along with KASY co-hosted this event and it was awesome.  I have to say the Dukgook was delicious as were the mandoo, japchae, kimchi, and bap. haha.  

Anyways check out the new pictures from our Dukgook Night

Happy New Year...sort of

Hey KASY members! I hope all of you had a very relaxing and enjoyable vacation and are ready to start the new semester. I finally updated the website haha sorry for the delay, but anyways make sure you check out the new pictures I uploaded.

I thought last semester's events were pretty sweet. Blackout was great ... all of blacklights looked really good and the DJ played some sweet music too. I want to thank Groove and the B-boys for their excellent dance performances as well. The study break we put on was pretty sweet too. I'm sorry about the den jang though! totally my fault that we didn't have any haha. Anyways, If you missed either of these events don't worry! Your fearless KASY Board has some great ideas for this upcoming semester. Get excited!

Oh also, Adopted Friends was the other big event for the fall. Make sure you give Laurie a pat on the back for all of her hard work! If you missed the fall one, there's also a spring Adopted Friends. We want to have more member involvement in the planning of this event so watch out for sign-ups for committees. Adopted Friends is totally worth signing up for, it's a great way to help adopted Korean children learn more about their culture (btw somehow I would like to make it more informative in the spring...but i digress). Also! you never know who you may meet at Adopted Friends... :) haha

Anyways, that's all I have for now. Remember to feel free to send me any pictures you may have taken during our KASY events or suggestions. Also, I can't believe I'm going to say this, but to Korean companies that have recently been spamming our Board with advertisements. This is unacceptable and must stop. This website exists for KASY members and for pre-frosh to learn about KASY, NOT for advertisement.
